Extreme Glimmers

Hi all! Ok ... so honest opinion about these ... they are pretty .... but SOOOOOO much of a pain to work with! It isn't that they are hard to work with ... just time consuming to get the way I want them to look. Add to that the fallout factor (hello GLITTER) and they are almost too much of a pain to bother with. Oh ... and the brush that comes with them is completely useless IMHO!

Still I pretty look ... and I finally got my UD 24/7 pencil in Deviant ... LOVE LOVE LOVE!

And isn't the necklace STUNNING! It was made by my dear friend Susie, and I think it is just gorgeous. She is the beading master, and I admire her skills a great deal. Thanks so much for the amazing ornamentation Susie! Love ya'!

Hope everyone enjoys this one ... don't think I will be recreating it anytime soon!

Enjoy!

  4. i have noticed you use the MAC metal-x under your colors a lot too... can you tell me, is that the same effect as using the shadesticks but maybe more shiny?
